Subjects & modules

In addition, lectures include propaedeutics, the foundations of business studies and accounting. Legal language and business language are also imparted as so-called soft skill.

In the higher semesters, international commercial law (partially in English) and key qualifications, such as public speaking, negotiating, and contract drafting are taught alongside subjects pertaining to private business law.


Electives


Students can choose from a broad range of major strands and specialisations that correspond with their personal ambitions.
 
In the electives, students experience inter-disciplinary interaction with fellow students from related business-oriented disciplines, thus simulating professional practice. The list of major strands includes, for example:
In-depth study of Human Resources, Banking and Finance, Taxation and Auditing, Corporate Management, Human Resource Management, Business Psychology and Conflict Management, E-Business, Multi-media Networks, Healthcare Management, Management of Media Agencies, Management of Media Companies, Mergers & Acquisitions/Insolvencies, Marketing and Communications Management.
